I am on liquid and pill form meds for acid reflux. It still happens. It comes so far up that I feel like I might throw up, but I don't. Sometimes a few deep breathes or a sip of something makes it feel a little better. Sucks! Anyone else feel this way?

Good to know because that was one of the options from my nut. I hear that the premier protein shakes are good so I may try those.

Which protein shakes do you use? I am looking to start with one.

Thank you so much!!!

Just ordering Protein shakes now. My NUT gave me a huge list of them, but obviously not by taste. The highest in protein are: Natures best Isopure zero carb Vitamin shop 100% soy protein Syntrax Matrix Bariatric Advantage unjury Any comments on which tastes best?

Feel the same way! I also have a large purple bruise by one of the incisions. Yuck!

Yes!!!! Thank you so much!!! I got the same instructions. Makes me feel better to hear someone is feeling the same!

Are itching and tinges of pain to main incision site 10 days out normal? I am thinning itching means healing? Happen to everyone else?

1) What do you do if you feel like something you ate got stuck? I have not eaten real food yet, but I would like to know so that I don't panic if by chance it happens. 2) when will I be able to go out to a restaurant and just feel free to pick at apps with friends as opposed to sitting down to a meal? Like tapas or other? 3) how do spicy foods sit with the sleeve? When is it ok to eat? I am not there yet, just curious.

That would be awesome!!! Thank you so much!

This was so great! Thank you so much! I am walking away with a lot of info!!!!! Yay!!! . FYI I saw a great recipe the other day for faux pizza portobello mushroom with tomato said and mozzarella on top also if you can take a thin fajita type wrap you can put tomato sauce on that and mozz it becomes really soft. thank you again!!!!

How much weight have you lost in 4 mo just curious?

How long did it take you to get to goal weight? You look amazing! Hope to have the same results. 4 days since surgery.

Yummm guacamole and salsa! Great! I just wanted an idea if I have to go to some sort of get together or dinner outing. Great ideas and thanks for the info. Do sauces make a difference when you are cooking? Like tomato sauce? Soy, Etc acidity etc ..... Love fish all types of ways and I want to get creative. My NUT actually scared me with the burger meat so iam glad to hear some can tolerate it.

Thank you so much!!!! Great advice and info.

I was sleeved on 1/27 and I am down 9 lbs. can't get the liquids in or enough protein. Maybe 16-20oz of water/tea/ ice pop/ hint water. Last 3 days I was ok with chicken stock and veggie stock but it's not happening now. Ugggh can't move to soft foods until 2/10.

I had a drain in for 3 days and I drained for the full 3 days. It has nothing to do with a leak test it prevents infection. If you saw how much drained you would say you would def want one. When I had my csection with my 2nd child I leaked from my incision, got an infection and had to take antibiotics. It's not fun.

I was sleeved the 27th as well. Go back to liquids you are not ready yet. I am on clears for 2 wks until 2/10 and then I have a full soft food meal plan for 2 wks then on to reg foods. Message me and we'll talk I have a whole list of foods etc portion sizes etc. Don't use a straw. The gas ex is not going to work for this your are bringing in too much air with the food so quickly.

Home day 2 from surgery. Pain, no meds because of nausea. Had drain and lidocaine wires taken out. Can't get liquids in, only maybe 30oz. 5 lbs down atleast. Bad headache prob from not being hydrated enough and freezing cold laying under 2 blankets but no fever. Any words of wisdom? Is anyone admitting to not getting in fluids and all being well? Lol very tired.

I just had surgery this past morning. Everyone is so amazing here, but I had debilitating gas problems as many people encounter and they are giving me 2 different types of anti-nausea drugs for relief because I constantly feel nauseous. I got up and walked around immediately after I was taken to my room. Was horrible but I think I am through the worst of it.

I am going in tomorrow morning too. I will pop on when I can and check in. You have a sista who will meet you on the other side girl! good luck!

My surgery is tomorrow. I have so much nervous energy. I think I have done 6-10 loads of laundry. I stopped counting at 5. I have made lists for both kids for everything under the sun about their daily activities for my husband and mother in law. I still can't wrap my head around surgery being tomorrow morning. Can't wait to get healthy!!!!! No preop diet, but I am going to take it easy tonight. I have to be at the hospital by 5:45-6am. Omg!!!!! So much nervous energy I don't know what to do with myself. I am going to start cleaning when everyone wakes up. I think It might be all the snow we got lastnight, as well. Sorry I am rambling.

I have my mother in law for 3 days, my husband for a full week home from work and then I am going to spend the 2nd week at my moms house with the kids. I definitely will have help putting him on my lap. I just feel mommy guilt. Yes I going to try and walk as soon as possible after surgery. It helped me during my 2 csections as well. Thanks for the info!

Surgery on Monday and I am feeling so much anxiety about making sure everything is taken care of for my little ones. I don't think I can let go and trust all will be fine until I walk through the doors of the hospital and take care of ME! Lol. Wow! I can't believe I just said take care of ME. Lol. I am excited and nervous !!!!!

I have surgery on Monday the 27th and I have a 10 month old as well. How many days did it take for you to heal enough to pick your little one up safely? Very curious. Thx.
